Chapter 44: Busking
In the absence of an air-conditioning fan, eating in a small courtyard is undoubtedly the coolest.
Ji Anyi shouted to start eating, and there was no need to say more, everyone moved.
It was nearly one o'clock, and everyone's stomachs were rumbling with hunger.
Xu Yifei burned the fire in front of the stove for a long time, and her face was reddened.
The makeup on the face was not set with setting powder, and with sweating, it was too mushy to see.
Ji Anzhi washed his face by the way when he was washing vegetables, although the clear soup was less watery, it was better than a big flower face.
Before going out of the kitchen, Ji Anzhi kindly took out a piece of paper for her and asked her to wipe her face clean.
Although Xu Yifei's plain makeup is not as good-looking as Ji Anzhi, after all, she has used Xuejian Pills for so long, and she still looks much more beautiful than an amateur.
Grapes are still planted in the small courtyard, and the table is placed under the grape trellis.
The breeze is light, and the grapes on the shelves are shaking, which is also quite interesting.
Although there are only four dishes on the table, each one is full of portions, and the big pot of rice tastes more fragrant than that cooked in a rice cooker.
The crispy pot at the bottom of the pot is a must-have with fish head soup or chicken broth.
The corn tortillas in the chicken in the pot absorb the essence of the soup, and the fresh people can swallow the tongue.
Huo Nanchen killed two large bowls of rice in one go, and also ate two corn tortillas, and the place where he sat was piled with small mountains of bones, and at a glance, he knew that there was no shortage of vegetables.
If his agent was here, he would definitely pull him and not let him eat.
Mina blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Huo Nanchen with a worried expression.
Seeing that he was still moving his chopsticks, he frowned and said:
"Brother Huo, the amount of carbohydrates you ingested today has exceeded the standard, if you continue to eat, you will gain weight, as artists, we should do a good job in body management, this is the basic professionalism, this is for your good, I will talk a lot."
Everyone was eating with a great appetite, and when they heard her say this, they all raised their heads in surprise.
Huo Nanchen paused for a moment, then swallowed the food in his mouth unhurriedly, raised his head and looked at her detachedly, and said unceremoniously:
"Are we acquainted? I don't seem to know you, and it seems a little inappropriate for you to ask me about it. ”
Huo Nanchen's expression was full of mockery, and Mina's face was ruthlessly swept to the ground by him.
She looked embarrassed and suppressed her anger and said:
"How can it be inappropriate, I'm your pumpkin fan, I'm your fan, and it's only natural to supervise you."
Huo Nanchen seemed to have heard a big joke and said mockingly:
"If it's my pumpkin powder, you can dictate my life, then do I want to live my life?
After all, I have so much pumpkin powder, if one person makes a request, and I still have to do it, then I don't have to live. ”
He said it indifferently, and everyone seemed to see the joke again, and no one helped.
Xu Yifei couldn't see that her daughter was wronged, so she hurriedly said:
"Huo Tianwang is still too young, it's not good to be so arrogant, our Nana is both your peer and your fan, and what she says is really good for you, you can't accept it and can't hurt her self-esteem so much, Ms. Ji, don't you say?"
Ji Anzhi's hand in the dish paused, put down the chopsticks directly, and said to Mina:
"It's meal time, it's not a fan meeting, it's not a peer exchange meeting, our children are hungry and want to eat, what's in your way?
If you want to eat, you can eat, if you don't eat, get out, I made a ready-made for you, so that you can eat and hold on? ”
As soon as Ji Anzhi's words came out, Ji Mingmei couldn't help laughing, she took a big piece of chicken leg and put it in Huo Nanchen's bowl, and said with a smile:
"Brother, eat more, if you get fat, we'll go back to inherit the family business."
Everyone was amused by her words, Huo Nanchen didn't eat with his face, his talent in music creation was enough for him to stand at the top of the entertainment industry.
One day he got tired of playing, and the Huo family still had tens of billions of family assets waiting for him to inherit.
Mina lost face now, and in the face of everyone's ridiculed eyes, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she threw down her chopsticks and ran away.
Xu Yifei hurriedly stood up and called her, and Mina said with a crying voice:
"I'm full, I want to go to sleep for a while, you eat slowly, leave me alone."
Her daughter was wronged, Xu Yifei was naturally dissatisfied, and said to Ji Anzhi unceremoniously:
"Ms. Ji, shouldn't you take care of it, so many of you are bullying our Nana, if this picture is broadcast, aren't you afraid of being bullied online?"
Ji Anzhi didn't even look at her, he ate by himself, swallowed the food in his mouth and said sarcastically:
"Do you mother and daughter have this appeal? Isn't the audience a brainless fool, so they really don't have the ability to distinguish? Do you know what it means to be the first to flirt? ”
Xu Yifei was beaten by her words, her nose was crooked, and she dared to stare at her angrily.
Ji Anzhi was poured into her appetite by her, she was originally hot after cooking, and she had no appetite, and she couldn't live in peace if she barely ate a little food.
Her body was full of low pressure, and she looked at Xu Yifei with a sense of oppression, and warned coldly:
"If you continue to look at me like that, don't force me to rip out your eyeballs and use them as light bulbs."
Her cruelty and viciousness did not seem to be fake, Xu Yifei recalled the encounter in the mountain behind the villa in a cold sweat, and lowered her head in admittance.
Ji Anzhi's anger made everyone as silent as a cicada.
The power on her body is too heavy, and it is by no means something ordinary people can have.
Sensing everyone's reaction, Ji Anzhi reined in his momentum, looked at Teacher Yu with a smile on his face, and asked with a smile:
"Teacher Yu, with the scene I just had, it shouldn't be a problem to win the Hundred Flowers Award, right?"
Teacher Yu came back to his senses and said in a serious manner:
"The Hundred Flowers Award is enough, at least it has to be the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress."
The two of them gaged like this, and the atmosphere finally got better again, Xu Yifei ate silently, not daring to continue to be a demon.
Everyone knows in their hearts, Xu Yifei is a paper tiger in front of Ji Anzhi, which is truly unfathomable, and what cannot be easily offended has to belong to Ji Anzhi.
After eating, everyone helped to take the dinner plate to the well, An Lin rolled up her sleeves to clean, Jiang Nan helped to flush with water, the two of them were quick with their hands and feet, but they also cooperated tacitly.
Back in the room, Ji An was sweaty and felt slimy and uncomfortable.
She was actually very tired and wanted to sleep for a while, but she was uncomfortable and couldn't sleep.
Ji Mingmei was also caring, seeing that her mother couldn't fall asleep over and over, she asked softly:
"Mom, can't you sleep because it's hot? I'm going to fan you? ”
Ji Anzhi waved his hand and refused:
"It's okay to be hot, it's just sticky and uncomfortable, you sleep with yours, I don't know how the program team is going to toss it at night."
Ji Mingmei hurriedly sat up, put on slippers, and said:
"I'm still young, it's not a problem to stay up late, I'll go boil some hot water for you, you hurry up and take a bath."
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Huo Nanchen raising her hand to knock on the door, and Ji Mingmei was startled.
Strange said: "Brother, what are you going to do?" The silence scared me to death. ”
Huo Nanchen rubbed her hair and said in a low voice:
"I guess my aunt is sweating from cooking, and she definitely needs to take a bath, so I lit the charcoal stove and boiled a big pot of hot water, and I want to call you to take a bath."
Ji Mingmei didn't expect her brother to be so considerate, and her smiling eyebrows and eyes were crooked.
"Thank you, brother, I'll go and call Mom."
Sure enough, taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, I felt like I was coming back to life.
In the room on the other side, Mina was crying uncontrollably.
Xu Yifei said irritably:
"Crying, crying, you know crying, you don't have the ability to fart, if you fall in love with Huo Nanchen, find a way to take him down, where are there so many tears."
Mina said stiffly: "I can't just pounce on him, I was obviously for his good just now, but he was so unkind." ”
Xu Yifei rubbed her temples with a headache, and said helplessly:
"You must know that Huo Nanchen is different from your father.
He is not empty and talented, he has no family, he can let you breathe and drink, you must warm his heart gently and carefully.
It's also that I usually don't set a good example for you, this matter is not in a hurry, you find the opportunity to secretly apologize to him in private. ”
Mina said reluctantly, "I don't want to apologize to him, I'm not wrong." ”
Xu Yifei said impatiently:
"If you don't want to be the young grandmother of the Huo family, then I didn't say it, if you are ambitious, then you must learn to be low and small."
Mina cried so pitifully, and her heart was a little hesitant and tangled.
In the afternoon, the director didn't make a demon, they took a good nap.
Huo Nanchen also took Ji Mingmei and them to go outside for a walk, He Can mingled with Huo Nanchen without seeing anything, Jiang Nan and he were acquaintances, and they could play together.
How happy they were playing, how depressed Mina was when she was alone at home.
Considering the limited funds, the evening was not too rich.
As soon as he had dinner, Director Zhang shouted with a loudspeaker:
"Tomorrow there will be a gentleman who will come to visit Fuzhong, he loves the tea ceremony, if he can satisfy him, he will accept Huo Nanchen as a student, so that he can be expected to take the imperial examination, so you have to go to the market at night to buy all the items you need."
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and Mr. Yu was puzzled:
"We will only drink tea in the teahouse, how can we make tea ourselves, we have to have tea cakes, right?"
Ji Anzhi knew that this was deliberately difficult for the program team, and said with a smile:
"I know a little bit about tea ceremony, but I don't know if our living expenses are enough to buy a set of tea sets."
Huo Nanchen said: "Let's go to the night market first, when I go out, I find that the market is very lively, and it should be good at night." ”
Mina hurriedly responded:
"Yes, yes, we haven't seen the ancient night market yet, let's go and have a look."
Huo Nanchen didn't quite understand, how could this woman pretend that nothing had happened before, and he didn't pay attention to her, but looked at Ji Anzhi.
Anyway, it's certain that the program team will make trouble, even if they want to hide, there will probably be new difficulties, so it's better to follow them.
"Then let's pack up and go early and come back early."
Everyone nodded their heads in high spirits and agreed, and a strict curfew system was implemented at night in ancient times, and it was obvious that the program team ignored this.
The night market in the film and television base looks like that, it's really like that, the lights are bright, and pedestrians are weaving back and forth.
There are still a lot of snacks in the market, but unfortunately they don't have much money on them, so they can only watch dryly.
Seeing Huo Nanchen looking around, Mina thoughtfully proposed:
"I heard that in ancient times, there were Golan Washers where you could watch performances, should we go and see them?"
Jiang Nan said unceremoniously: "Do you have any funds?" If there is, you can invite us to go, the purpose of our visit, in addition to seeing some free and free night scenes, just to buy tea sets, don't ask too much. ”
Mina said unhappily:
"We're just here to see, and we don't have to pay for it, do you have to eat a gun?"
Mina didn't dare to fight against Ji Mingmei, but she was not afraid of Jiang Nan at all, seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Ji Anzhi spoke.
"What's there to be noisy, if you want to quarrel, go back and argue, don't bother here."
Everyone didn't dare to squeak, and Mr. Yu suddenly pointed to the shop in front of him:
"There's a tea set over there, let's go check it out first."
diverted everyone's attention, and didn't forget to glare at Jiang Nan, Jiang Nan stuck out his tongue indifferently.
Everyone went straight to the shop in front, and as soon as they entered the store, they saw the shopkeeper dressed in ancient costumes, smiling and smiling, and he wanted to introduce it to everyone.
It's a pity that few people present know how to do it, as if listening to popular science.
Only Ji Anzhi carefully selected a purple clay pot that they could afford at the moment.
Just as they were about to pay and leave, they suddenly heard an exclamation, and everyone looked back, only to see that Mina had tripped somehow and was lying on the shelf where the teapot was placed.
The shelves weren't fixed, they were overwhelmed by her, and all the teapots on the shelves fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and the shopkeeper said with tears in his eyes:
"Oops~ You people are so bad that you feel sorry for me, even if you don't have money, you smashed so many treasures of me, you don't want to leave if you don't compensate."
Mina lay on the shelves and burst into tears, and she said with a crying voice:
"I didn't mean to, I don't know who hit me, I have inconvenient legs and feet, I really can't blame me."
Xu Yifei was also stupid by this change, and Ji Anzhi rebuked:
"Crying for what? Why don't you get up and see if your hands hurt? What are you doing stupidly? ”
The last sentence was said to Xu Yifei, Xu Yifei finally came back to her senses when she called her like this, and hurriedly ran over to help her daughter.
After a careful inspection, fortunately the person was not injured, Ji Anzhi resigned himself to his fate and took out the only few hundred coins left in his hand and handed them all over to the shopkeeper.
Said sincerely: "Forgive me, the shopkeeper, we only have so much money in our hands at the moment, but we can write an IOU and ensure that we will compensate in full." ”
The shopkeeper took the copper coin, and said dissatisfied:
"You guys are still far away, let alone you have to compensate me for two taels of silver, since you don't have it now, then leave someone to work here as a mortgage."
When Mina heard this, she shook her head busily, and cried and said:
"I don't want to be here alone, I can't do anything, my legs are inconvenient."
She knew that Ji Anzhi had the final say now, so she pulled Ji Anzhi's sleeve and cried, Ji Anzhi's brain hurt when she was noisy.
said without pity: "Whether this incident is an accident or something, you caused it, and you should bear the consequences."
Besides, we don't have a penny on us now, and we have to find a way to earn money in a while, and you stay here just to clean and greet customers, and there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, our family is not a black store, and we don't do illegal things." ”
As soon as she heard that she had to go out and find a way to make money, Mina didn't dare to be crooked, and said with a sob: "Then I'll stay and work, but I have to go back to sleep at night." ”
The shopkeeper assures: "It's natural. ”
Although it's all fake, let her stay to work to pay off her debts, it may not be a real job, but there will definitely not be too many shots given.
Although Mina was reluctant, she had no way to object.
The group came out of the store with tea sets, each of them hung their heads, An Lin said worriedly:
"We don't have a penny now, and tomorrow it's a problem to eat."
Because there is no refrigerator, I didn't purchase too many vegetables at a time, and there are only three melons and two dates left at home, so I don't use them at all.
Everyone's eyes looked at Ji Anzhi without surprise, as if she was the backbone of everyone, Ji Anzhi silently complained in his heart that the program team was not a person, but he still said comfortingly:
"It doesn't matter, we all have unique skills, if we don't have money, we will earn it ourselves, there are just a lot of people in the night market, so let's just sell our art."
Everyone's eyes lit up, there are a lot of group performances in this film and television base, maybe there are their fans, and a reward for the performance program will definitely be enough for them to eat.
Huo Nanchen said excitedly: "Auntie's guqin skills are superb, why don't we improvise a song, I'll go to the program team to borrow musical instruments." ”
Hearing him say this, everyone's combat power was instantly ignited, and one by one they were full of confidence, Jiang Nan said without modesty: "Then I'll have a chest crush boulder, and I will be in a group with Cancan." ”
Ji Mingmei raised her hand and said, "I'm going to dance, I practiced a dance before filming and can just use it." ”
Teacher Yu said with a smile: "Then I'll sing a piece of Peking Opera, I have learned Peking Opera, and I will definitely be able to do it." ”
Xu Yifei hurriedly said: "Then I'll collect the reward money, I must not miss a copper plate." ”
An Lin said helplessly: "Then I'll do the logistics for you, let's go to the night city center first, there are many people there." ”
I don't know how Huo Nanchen grinded with the program team, and he really got the guitar and guqin, two unrelated instruments, and I don't know what kind of sparks will collide.
Xu Yifei borrowed someone's small gong and struck it, and as soon as the sound sounded, it attracted a lot of people to come over.
Huo Nanchen and Ji Anzhi sat in the middle, and the two of them first adjusted the sound of the piano, and then they were almost ready.
Huo Nanchen's guitar took the lead in playing several sets of chords, and Ji Anzhi listened to it and did not hesitate to use the guqin to harmonize it.
Both of them are very talented in music, you come and go, and they actually play the sound of nature, everyone is stupid, and the song is over, and the applause is endless.
The copper plate of the reward was thrown to the ground as if he didn't want money, Huo Nanchen didn't care about the audience, and pulled a photographer to watch the playback, inspiration was just a flash of moment, he wanted to record this song, and sing it with the lyrics.
